I really wanted the front camera, but wasn't willing to spend upwards of $400 for it, comparing a non-contracted TyTN II and a contracted Tilt, or even a$200 difference for a non-contracted Tilt.
So, I'm thinking... Is there any way to get the front half of the unit with the screen and the front camera, just so I can get the full TyTN II?
I'm already CID unlocked and SIM unlocked, just thought I'd try to see if I can take it to the next level...
Yes it can be done, I believe. I did this very same thing with my 8525 after getting my hands on a broken JasJam from someone I know and then performing the necessary surgery (funny, because I really am a surgeon!). Now, there ARE a few caveats here: one, I knew for a fact that the AT&T 8525 and the i-mate JasJam were fundamentally the same hardware, and that the 8525 actually had the socket for the camera, so I just took the JasJam's camera, plugged it in, and replaced my 8525's faceplate with the JasJam's.
Because this device is new, however, you're going to have to wait for some time before spare parts become available. And because most mobile device people are highly neurotic, I don't expect that they're going to part with even a broken device, but you never know.
PDADoc, that's a cool story about the camera surgery. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it, lol! I just got bored and since I already had my Kaiser device I figured why not? It worked out well enough, so it's in the desk drawer for use as a backup device. I'm vascillating on whether to sell it or not in the meantime.
love the surgery story too..wish you filmed it. "Vascillating"? LOL Yeah you're definitely a Doctor!

interesting. I'd personally much rather transplant a speaker there though. It'd be especially useful for playing videos. Having the speaker on the back for that job is just silly.
does anyone knows if a hermes cam is the same of a tilt cam? i wanna do same as the "surgeon" but on ebay i can only find hermes cams... thank you
I think a couple guys over at hofo have done this with the Kaiser.. Ofcourse the hard part is finding the camera.
Once you do find the camera, cnn.cn has the front faceplate with the camera hole so if you do get a damaged kaiser with a marked up front cover, you can pick that one up for 12.99 plus shipping.

The best way would be to buy it and find out if it works?
I don't know if anyone could give you the answer 100% as most people who have Kaisers with cameras own HTC TyTN IIs and not Tilts. Unless if someone has access to the part numbers for both the Hermies and the Kaiser I don't know if you'd get the information you are looking for.

I think this is the best answer i got till now. tomorrow my tilt will arrive and i will check if there is a front cam slot
So im with cingular for 7 yrs now. My bill is around 200 plus a month. I got the tilt and prior to that I had the treo and prior to that any other smart phone\expensive\looked complicated device that they had... (What can I do...im a sucker for gadgets like must of us)?
So my Kaiser is so geared up rite now had the l26 6.1 rom on it the whole thing was set up I mean seriously nirvana. Well besides not being able to run some hybrid apps on it but then again I was happy with my Kaiser.
Then the screen went of seems like it just broke. I mean no joke I wasn’t even touching the phone. I guess it vibrated and just I dono...1 in a mil type of accident(my whole house is carpet to carpet I mean no chance it fell to the ground and got hit..) so im taking these device of mine which I nurse better then I nurse my self to cingular..and those bustards tells me it wont be under warranty and that ill need to buy a new one.(and of course that the sound that the device make with the keypad isn’t normal and did I tweaked the device gee u guys are pretty smart up there huh??? ) well anyways they cant see that I dont have the original rom cuz the screen isn’t working... but I figured if warranty will send me a new phone they will charge me full price( well that was the solution of the guy at the cingular store),.
I guess I nid to fry the device...how do I do that...? Microwave??
neways guys if any of u got a way to fry or terminate the device to the point of it no going on at all and not showing light in the screen or that the screen broken plz plz let me know. I would hate to shall another 500$ for those assholes..
Thanks a lot.
Just buy a replacement LCD and repair it yourself....
Its real easy(and inexpensive) to replace the lcd....here's some places to look

i mean i love my kaiser but im scared my hands r too big for this thing....
Similar problem
I had may screen crack when it was in my pocket. I didn't touch it and it shouldn’t have broken. It cracked in a weird way. There was a visible crack but the LCD part didn't leak all over the place. I could see the screen just fine the only thing that did not function was the ability to use the touch screen. I called ATT and spoke with the agent who told me it was not under warranty because it was cracked. I insisted that it was a defect in the device because I had not done anything to it (I suspect it was the tempter change from the warm car to the cold) they should replace it. I asked to speak with a manager (escalation department) and again explained the situation and they he told me he would do a one time replacement and now I have a working phone. Hope that helps.
so just a second...they sent u a new phone
or refurbished one?
i mean mines only 3 months old,...we didnt even clbrtd 1 yr birthday to it...

You should be able to revert back to the default rom for the tilt, to get the default sliding sound back, if that is what they are using to say you are not under warranty. You should be able to do this without needing to see the screen if you do it using activesync.
Yes it was a refurbished one but it is a lot better then a broken one

he can still go into bootloader mode and fix it. Flash the WM6 Radio, then flash the factory WM6 ROM. Doesnt matter if you can see the screen or not.
And to be honest. The last tilt i had to send in was running WM6.1, and they sent me a brand new one, without even question me. I was shocked.
Good luck though!
Hey Guys
im a long time winmob user and currently own a HTC Touch Diamond. I am fed up with this phone, even with cooked roms its still slow in TF3D and, its so easily scratched that after a month its covered in small scratches.
I swore after my TyTN I would never buy another HTC device and didn't until this phone ... and now I remember why I said I would never do that!
So, I need a phone of similar specs to the Omnia but would like a higher resolution screen. Also, the reviews say the Omnia is buggy so, which phone should I go for?
i plan on trying out the x1
not out yet ,..... and its a HTC device so thats a big fat no (probably)

its a HTC manufactured, but not a HTC device dear. Check out its reviews
dear????
Correct - its HTC hardware/build/components that are ....er ..... don't think im able to swear so, I will just settle for complete crap. HTC software and hardware "features" are great!
Example, awesome 640*480 screen on touch diamond, gets scratched to hell too easily.
If your screen gets scratches, buy a damn screen protector. There's so many available.
wow .... such aggression ..... Why are you so angry? Not like I'm having a pop at you or anyone else is it?
Screen protectors dull the screen so no thanks. The screen is just ONE example, not the ONLY example. I can list some more if you like?
And I didn't have this problem with my Tosh G900....
yes my uni is almost dead... The problem is screen... It is working sometimes but not always... But as i said i am happy... Why..? yes because i have now a reason to buy a new phone. Uni was a perfect phone/pc : ) It was tired after all this rom i have tried... It can not more... I was so happy for it...
...and all of you... Thank you all for to make this community posibble... I need your help for last time...
As i said i will buy a new phone. Options are touch pro-xperia and touch hd. I was so close to buy touch pro but... xperia and touch hd have a high resolution screen (800 X 480
TFT-skærm) I think with these two phone open a new area in phone history.
So the problem is... Should i buy touch pro or xperia... I can wait for xperia but i think that the screen can make some problems with software... etc... am i wrong? thanks again...
Touch pro. Unless theres a touch hd pro on its way!

: ) exactly
Any real-life experience about the performance anybody? From QVGA to VGA the pixels quadrupled resulting in bad performance for e.g. navigational applications or any other apps which used non-accelerated graphics. This especially shows when using landscape on the Uni. (Try TomTom in portrait mode and then in landscape.)
Is there any info about the performance on those new hi-res devices?
Cheers,

so i think touch pro will be a good replacement... It could be better with a bigger screen...
How about the Toshiba Portégé G910? It has a high screen resolution (800 x 480) as well plus GPS built in and a fingerprint reader. Its the same type of device as the HTC Universal, even better because of the second monochrome display on the cover.
On a russian Toshiba distributers page i´ve read that some progs dont running on a 800x480 screen at all. Dont remember which prog exactly, it was an GPS Navi Prog. IGoMyWay 8 is running fine on that device.

If you are happy because your Uni es dead, I think there is no point suggesting, as any device would make you happy again...
I´ll never be happy if my Uni dies!, better to have it working and get a second device!
Good luck
I went from Universal to Touch Pro. And I love it. I recieved it a week ago and thought that the smaller screen would be anoying, but now I dont think about it anymore. And also its nice to have a phone you can actually have in your pocket.

i agree with you about a phone we can have in our pocket... i have seen a dummy touch pro today, nice phone but screen is really small. I dont know how it is in use. you say it is not annoying... is it because you are used to use it after a week or is it really a good screen... can you make a comp. between universals 3.6 screen with that?

TP indeed has a god screen. Its very sharp and clear which realy compensate for the smaller screen. After using it a day or two i didnt think about the small screen anymore. I think the screen is as good as Universals.
Also the browser Opera gives a good experience while surfing on the web. Its very easy to zoom.
I use to be a dedicated netfront 3.5 user, but nt3.5 just dosent work on TP. It makes the TP crashing every now and then. And using the bookmark is not as smooth at it was on universal. But Opera is a very good alternativ.
Decision is made : ) I will wait for htc hd... because touch pro is still not here... When it comes, there will be only 2 months to htc hd.... Touch pro is too late... The secod reason is, i think hd phones is a new area so i will use my money on a htc hd...
I'm not happy
contrary to you, i'm not happy my uni dead......
I have a hermes with me, just because it has qwerty, but the screen position is not comfortable.....because it cant be bend.....
Hey guys! this is my first time posting on this forum and i need some advice from yall. i just got the new att samsung epix yesterday. im pretty sure this is the US version of the samsung i780. im really enjoying thus phone. but i just found out that the touch pro is coming to att in a few days and it looks like a really good phone. my question is should i stick with this phone or will i be happier with the touchpro? it will cost me $100 more to get the fuze but is it worth it?
-Alex
P.S. - i typed this on my epix
It is definately worth it to switch.
Following reasons:
G-sensor
Light Sensor
Capactive buttons
Cooler looking
Tv-Out
Disadvantages:
Bigger? lol
Less battery =/ I think the Epix has a bigger battery
The keyboard is slide out (that's personal opinion)
and do I know you? Someone told me they got a epix yesterday lol
Kraize
I think i`ll buy me a TP (or x1). I just want to know if you are happy with your TP.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have a touch pro. Just recently went to a store to handle a epix but got to fondle with a fuze too . Here is the breakdown
Touch Pro (Fuze):
Video Out
G-sensor
Light sensor
TF3D
Smaller battery
$100 more
Epix:
Just US version of the i780
Not all apps are compatible with the screen resolution.
Big battery
No g-sensor or light sensor? (I may be mistaken about the light sensor)
X1:
Almost same as touch pro except the following:
No video out, g-sensor, or tf3D
Sony Panels
Embedded screen (BLAH! I hate this on my tilt as well. So it totally turned me off from the x1)
Basically, if the Epix had a g-sensor and could fully run tf3d, it would so win. I like the touch pro though. For the sole reason that the screen is embedded in the x1, I would not get it. It totally ticks me off. On my tilt, I can barely click the things in the corner cause the screen is embedded. So it's a no no for me.
Thanks for that info! Looks like umma take this epix back. Don't get me wrong it's a great device but for 100 dollars more I can get so much more with the fuze. And I don't think I know you
